Workplace: follow vital rules
Every day, more than 800 people have an accident at work. Accidents in which people die or remain disabled for the rest of their lives are particularly tragic. The vital rules are real lifesavers: they can prevent the majority of all serious accidents.
The vital rules for a forklift driver, for example, are as follows:
- Only drive with authorization
- Operate forklift trucks in accordance with regulations
- Drive considerately
- Use safe traffic routes
- Save load
- Storing loads safely
- Check forklift truck
- do not improvise
- Wear protective equipment
Those who consistently adhere to the vital rules increase safety in the workplace. Anyone who stops work in the event of a breach of these rules, rectifies the hazard and only then continues working can save lives. Interested parties can here put together their own set of vital rules to suit their business.
